Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers have a wide variety of applications in dentistry due to their improved properties and broad applicability. Polymeric materials are commonly used for preventive, restorative, and regenerative therapies in dentistry. However, bacterial reinfections after dental restorations result in treatment failures. Therefore, dental restorative materials with antibacterial effects have the potential to meet clinicians’ needs. This Special Issue aims to cover all aspects regarding original and cutting-edge research on novel polymers that enable the development of antibacterial properties against different bacteria for clinical applications in dentistry. Both original contributions and reviews as well as improvements for specific antibacterial applications are particularly welcome.
